This substantial four-bedroom detached house on De Montfort Road offers classic proportions and a mature west-facing garden ideal for family life and entertaining. The property is freehold, includes a driveway, garage and a large loft, and sits close to Streatham Hill station and Tooting Bec Common for easy commuting and green space.
The house requires renovation throughout: dated finishes, likely solid-brick walls without added insulation, and general modernisation are all needed. There is clear potential to reconfigure or extend subject to planning permission and building regulations, so buyers seeking to add value or tailor a home will find good scope here.
Practical positives include double glazing fitted after 2002, mains gas boiler and fast broadband and mobile signal. Notable drawbacks are the high local crime rate, an expensive council tax band, and the property's need for refurbishment—these factors should be weighed against the location and plot size.
Overall, this detached family home is a rare west-London opportunity to create a comfortable, contemporary family house in a popular Streatham setting. It will suit buyers prepared to invest time and budget into a full refurbishment or an extension project.
